Jarn Mound Sir Arthur Evans built Jarn Mound in 1933 to try to preserve the view of Oxford across Matthew Arnold Field. The mound has shrunk and the trees have grown, though there are plans to restore the view, and the garden that Evans planted still has a huge variety of plants. Looking roughly north-east from the summit.
